History
The lands of Norton remained unsettled by English colonists for many years after their initial arrival on the eastern Massachusetts coast. But by the late 1640s, the townships of Rehoboth and Taunton were looking to expand their boundaries further inland. The settlement of Rehoboth bought the lands north of it—what would become Attleboro—from Wamsutta in the 1666 North Purchase. The residents of Taunton were also looking to acquire more land to develop, cutting the forest back and using felled timber to feed construction and fuel industries, and settle the cleared grounds into meadows and pastureland. Norton was first legally settled by European colonists after the Taunton North Purchase in 1668. This deed of purchase from Metacomet entitled the residents of Taunton to the lands north of their current settlement—the forests, cedar swamps, rivers, meadows, and lakes that would become established as Norton, Mansfield, and Easton. In 1686, more payments to access the North Purchase lands were made by Taunton men to Wompatuck, a descendent of Chickatawbut. During King Philip’s War, “a group of twenty Taunton men, fearing attack” against their settlement “followed the Three Mile River to its confluence… at the Coweset (Wading) and Rumford Rivers and the thick swamp between them,” attacking women and children who were sheltering there. In this fight, at Norton’s so-called “Lockety Neck,” the men murdered or otherwise participated in the killing of Weetamoo, the female sachem of the Pocasset Wampanoag people. There is a memorial plaque on Pine Street commemorating her and other Wampanoag families killed in this attack.
When Norton was first settled in 1669 it was called North Taunton for its location on the northern border of Taunton, Massachusetts.
The town was renamed “Norton”—after Norton, Oxfordshire, England, where many early settlers had originated—when the town was officially established on March 17, 1710. Parts of Norton were set out as Easton on December 21, 1725, and as Mansfield on April 26, 1770.
Metacomet, the Wampanoag Indian sachem also known as “King Phillip”, used to camp at a cave made by huge glacial rocks resting on top of each other, just north-east of Lake Winnecunnet. Every Norton school child has been entertained with the legend of King Phillip’s Cave.
The bandstand within the town center was originally erected using donated funds during the first Gulf War, in honor of the veterans who served from Norton.
In elementary school, students were told the story of the “Devil’s Foot Print”, where Major George Leonard sold his soul to the devil. The devil’s foot print can be seen at Norton’s Joseph C. Solmonese Elementary School, on land which was once Leonard’s farmland. Every 26 years, the school unburies a time capsule, the last of which was buried in 1999. The time capsule will be opened next in 2026.
Norton is also a location in the claimed paranormal Bridgewater Triangle.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 29.8 square miles (77 km), of which 28.7 square miles (74 km) is land and 1.1 square miles (2.8 km), or 3.72%, is water. The terrain of Norton is generally low and swampy. The waters of the area are fed by the Wading River and the Canoe River, both of which feed into the Taunton River downstream. The two largest bodies of water in town are the Norton Reservoir, north of the center of town, and Winnecunnet Pond on the east (on the north side of I-495), which is fed by the Canoe River and feeds into the Mill River.
Lake Winnecunnet is Norton’s only natural body of water. Classified as a kettle pond, it formed over 13,000 years ago when a large chunk of glacial ice rested there and gradually melted, creating the lake as the climate slowly warmed.
The town, an irregular polygon generally oriented from northeast to southwest, is bordered by Easton to the northeast, Taunton to the southeast, Rehoboth to the south, Attleboro to the southwest, and Mansfield to the northwest. Norton is approximately 27 miles south-southwest of Boston, and 15 miles northeast of Providence, Rhode Island.
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Norton has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated “Cfa” on climate maps. The hottest temperature recorded in Norton was 101 °F (38.3 °C) on July 20, 1991, while the coldest temperature recorded was −19 °F (−28.3 °C) on January 22, 1984.

What Does Lawn Aeration Do?
Lawn aeration improves the health of your grass by allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots where they’re needed most. Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, mowing equipment, and natural settling. When this happens, grass roots struggle to grow deep, leading to thin turf, poor color, and increased weed growth.
Aeration works by removing small plugs of soil from the lawn, creating openings that relieve compaction and improve root development. These holes allow fertilizer and moisture to penetrate deeper into the soil instead of running off the surface. As a result, grass develops stronger roots, becomes more drought-resistant, and recovers faster from stress caused by heat or heavy use.
Aeration is especially beneficial for lawns with heavy clay soil or high traffic areas. When paired with overseeding and proper fertilization, aeration leads to thicker, greener grass and a healthier lawn overall.
If your lawn looks tired or struggles to grow, professional aeration is one of the most effective ways to restore its strength and appearance.

How often does a lawn need to be aerated?
Most lawns benefit from aeration once per year, but the ideal frequency depends on soil type, lawn usage, and overall turf health. For the average residential lawn with moderate foot traffic, annual aeration is enough to relieve soil compaction and keep grass roots healthy and strong.
If your lawn has heavy clay soil, frequent use from kids or pets, or sees a lot of traffic, aeration may be needed twice per year—typically in the spring and fall. Clay soil compacts more easily, restricting air and water movement, which weakens root growth over time.
Lawns with sandy soil or minimal traffic may only need aeration every two to three years, as these soils drain more naturally and resist compaction.
The best time to aerate is during your grass’s active growing season—fall for cool-season grasses and late spring for warm-season grasses. This allows the lawn to recover quickly and maximize results.
If your lawn feels hard underfoot, struggles to absorb water, or looks thin despite proper care, it’s likely overdue for aeration. A professional lawn evaluation can determine the right schedule and ensure your lawn gets exactly what it needs to thrive.

What are signs your lawn needs aeration?
There are several clear signs that your lawn needs aeration, and most homeowners notice them long before they realize compaction is the real issue.
One of the most common signs is water pooling or runoff after rain or irrigation. If water sits on the surface instead of soaking into the soil, compacted ground is preventing proper absorption.
Another indicator is thin or patchy grass, even when you’re watering and fertilizing correctly. When soil is compacted, roots can’t grow deep or access nutrients, causing grass to weaken and struggle.
If your lawn feels hard or spongy underfoot, that’s another red flag. Hard soil means air and nutrients aren’t reaching the roots. A spongy feel often points to excessive thatch buildup, which aeration helps break down.
Heavy foot traffic from kids, pets, or entertaining can also compact soil over time. If certain areas wear down faster than others, aeration can restore balance and encourage even growth.
You may also notice your lawn drying out quickly during warm weather. Shallow roots caused by compaction can’t retain moisture, making grass more vulnerable to heat stress.
If you’re seeing one or more of these signs, your lawn is telling you it needs help. Professional aeration, especially when paired with overseeding and fertilization, can dramatically improve thickness, color, and resilience—bringing your lawn back to life.
